When the Street Shouts, the Mind Sleeps

What notable things happened today? I should have been up by 4. That’s the plan, it always is.Read. Revise. Whisper a few new words in a language I’ve sworn to master this year. Quiet mornings. Steady progress. That’s the rhythm I’ve been trying to keep. But today, I opened my eyes at 6.No alarm. No rush. Just a weird heaviness sitting on my head like a thick cloud. Maybe I didn’t hear it. Or…

Top Of Your Language Game.

Here's a great quote from Josh Billings - Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well. In simple terms, life isn't about having everything go perfectly—it's about making the most of what you have.

a game changer

When you are a game changer, you introduce something that significantly alters how things are done or perceived. To spell it out, you've brought in something that changes everything for the better or worse.

Think about finding yourself at a board meeting where you present a new marketing strategy. Everyone's impressed, and it's clear that your idea is a game changer for the company's plans - then you wake up.

"The new office rule that allowed pets at work was a game changer—now we have more fur and feathers in the meetings than attendees!"

at the top of your game

When you're at the top of your game, you're performing at the highest level of your ability. To spell it out, you're doing exceptionally well and showing your best performance.

Picture yourself as a high-level nappy changer - in front of your wife, mother, and mother-in-law, and they are all impressed. You've been studying and practising for months, and now you're clearly at the top of your game and could even do it with your eyes closed.

"With his latest attempt at baking, Steve proved he was at the top of his game—even his smoke alarm applauded!"

blow off steam

When you blow off steam, you release pent-up emotions or stress, often by venting or doing something active. In other words, you're letting out frustration or stress to feel better.

Think about finding yourself at the annual office paintball day after a stressful month at work. You're running through the forest and jumping over all the blow-up obstacles to blow off steam, feeling much calmer and more relaxed after shooting everyone, even your team, releasing your inner John Rambo. However, someone in HR may want to talk to you on Monday.

"After the budget meeting, Jenny decided to blow off steam by taking up competitive hula-hooping—now she's spinning circles around everyone!"

break a sweat

When you break a sweat, you engage in physical activity that makes you sweat or exert effort. To spell it out, you're working hard enough to start sweating.

Imagine your in-laws are coming for Christmas and New Year's Eve, and you're learning a new routine of helping your wife around the house. You're really giving it your all and breaking a sweat as you master using the hoover and cleaning - but the washing machine is far too magical for you.

"Trying to assemble the flat-pack furniture, Tom had to break a sweat—he even swore the instructions were written in ancient hieroglyphs!"

buckle down (and do something)

When you buckle downand do something, you start working hard and focusing seriously on a task or project. In other words, you're getting serious and dedicating yourself to getting something done.

Picture yourself with a big exam coming up. You decide to buckle downand start revising properly, setting aside distractions and studying intensely to prepare. The shame is that you should have started way before five minutes to the exam.

"With the deadline looming, Emma had to buckle downand finish her report—by the end, even her coffee was exhausted."

fill in (for someone)

When you fill in, you substitute for someone or complete a part of a task that was missing. To spell it out, you temporarily take over a role or responsibility or complete something left undone.

Imagine you're an office worker and your department head has gone on holiday, and they ask you to cover for them. You fill infor their position to keep the department's performance on track.

"With the regular goalkeeper injured, Matt had to fill in, and somehow he managed to keep a clean sheet, but it was a little unfair—I think. He is a 22-year-old professional keeper, and it is a local kid's game."

get the ball rolling

When you get the ball rolling, you start an activity or process, setting things in motion. In other words, you're initiating something and getting it underway.

Imagine yourself in a team meeting where you propose a new project. You're the one who gets the ball rolling, outlining the initial steps and encouraging everyone to contribute, but no one else wants to say anything.

"To kick off the surprise party, Lucy had to get the ball rolling—by rolling a giant inflatable beach ball through the office."

play hardball

When you play hardball, you deal with a situation very competitively or aggressively. In other words, you're not holding back and are going all out to win or get what you want.

Imagine you're enjoying a snow day with your kids, and they want a snowball war with the rest of the kids in the neighbourhood. You decide to play hardball, dive, push your kids to do better, aim for heads and show you're serious about winning the war.

"During the office trivia contest, Dave decided to play hardball—he even started using a strategy guide and bribed the judges with doughnuts!"

play it cool

When you play it cool, you stay calm and composed, even in stressful or exciting situations. To spell it out, you're keeping your composure and not letting emotions show.

Picture yourself at a high-profile event where you're meeting important clients. You play it cool, maintaining your confidence and calm while engaging in conversation, but your heart beats at over 10,000 beats per minute.

"When the surprise wedding proposal was announced, Mark tried to play it cool—but his face turned so red, it looked like a tomato in a tuxedo."

put up a fight (against someone/something)

When you put up a fight against someone or something, you resist or struggle against something, showing determination and effort. In other words, you actively oppose or challenge something, even if success seems unlikely.

Think about being in a close chess game against your partner, and you are losing and have no pawns on the board. Even though the odds are against you, you put up a fight and give it your all to try and turn the game around.

"Even though he was losing at Monopoly, Greg decided to put up a fight—he made up new rules on the spot to save his last hotel from bankruptcy."

raise the bar

When you raise the bar, you set a new, higher standard or level of achievement. To spell it out, you make things more challenging by increasing the expectations.

Imagine you're part of a large family in a not-so-healthy home competition, but you have added a man cave to your home with a bar, chilled beer on tap, a nine-foot American pool table, and a massive TV with seating for twenty. Your project is so impressive that it raises the bar for all future family gatherings, pushing everyone to aim higher and spend more as well as pissing off everyone because of their jealousy.

"At the family barbecue, Jake decided to raise the bar—he cooked a steak so perfect that now the neighbours are asking for cooking lessons."

take on (someone/something)

When you take onsomeone or something, you assume responsibility for a task or challenge or compete against someone in a game. To spell it out, you accept a challenge or begin a new role or responsibility.

Imagine you're asked to coach a youth football team. You decide to take on the role, excited to guide and train the young players even though you know nothing about football.

"When his little sister challenged him to a dance-off, Sam decided to take onthe role—by pulling off moves that even the dog tried to copy."

think over (something)

When you think over something, you carefully consider it before making a decision. To spell it out, you reflect on a choice or option before deciding.

Imagine finding yourself in an unwinnable position when your wife and mother want to do different things with them one day in Edinburgh. You need to think overthe situation you face and weigh the pros and cons before joining your father in the pub.

"After being asked to choose a movie for family night, Alex needed to think overhis options—he spent so long deliberating that the popcorn went stale."

throw in the towel

When you throw in the towel, you give up or admit defeat in a challenging situation. In other words, you accept that you can't win and decide to quit.

Imagine you have been trying for years to impress and show the company bosses that you are a real asset as a dependable worker and a material writer. After struggling for years, you finally decide to throw in the towel and accept that nothing will ever change, no matter what you do.

"After struggling to understand the new software, Mike threw in the towel and returned to his old typewriter method."

wind up (something)

When you wind upsomething, you bring something to a conclusion or end. In other words, you finish or close something.

Imagine you're finishing up a long meeting about the fourth quarter results. As you wind upthe discussion, you summarise the key points and want to conclude the meeting, but one of the attendees intends to go into memos in real depth—the horror, the horror, the horror!

"After an epic house party, Emma tried to wind upthe festivities—she found confetti in the most unexpected places, like the fridge and her cat's fur, and had to rescue two friends who had fallen asleep on the roof!"

Conversational Questions.

What's your go-to activity to blow off steamafter a crazy day—do you have a favourite stress-busting hobby or ritual?

Have you ever felt like throwing in the towel on a DIY project because it turned into a bigger mess than you expected?

 Let's dive into today's language insight with your friendly language, Yeti, Kieron, from #SpeakConfidently. 🦍💬

Today's Phrasal Verb - get rid of (something/someone)

When you get rid of something/someone, you do something to no longer have or be affected or bothered by something or someone unwanted.

1️⃣ "It's time to get rid of my husband; I think it is high time I ran away with the pool boy."

🚫 Why it's a waste of time - While this sentence might catch attention with its humour, we believe in fostering healthy relationships and constructive communication. 

Discussing drastic measures like this could promote negative behaviour and disrespect towards significant others. Let's focus on positive and respectful interactions instead!

2️⃣ "She finally got rid of the salesman by saying the kids were about to return from school."

✅ Why it's a useful example - This sentence showcases a practical application of the phrasal verb in a daily-life scenario. It highlights how to tactfully handle unwanted situations without being rude or confrontational.

It consists of 26 letters, each representing a unique sound or combination of sounds. The alphabet is the fundamental building block of written communication in English and serves as the basis for spelling words. Your Queries :- ABC Alphabets ABCD ABCD ABC Kids TV ABC Songs for Children ABC Rhymes ABC Phonic Song a The ABC alphabet is typically divided into two categories: consonants and vowels. Consonants are letters that represent speech sounds produced with a partial or complete obstruction of airflow, such as "b," "c," and "t." Vowels, on the other hand, are letters that represent speech sounds produced with an open vocal tract, such as "a," "e," and "o." Learning the alphabet is one of the foundational skills in early education, and it is often one of the first things children are taught. Knowing the alphabet is essential for literacy and is a precursor to reading and writing. The alphabetical order of the letters is commonly used for organizing and referencing words in dictionaries and other reference materials. Here is the list of the 26 letters in the English alphabet: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Each letter has both an uppercase (capital) and a lowercase form. Uppercase letters are often used at the beginning of sentences and for proper nouns, while lowercase letters are used in regular text. The ABC alphabet has a rich history and has undergone various changes and adaptations over time, but its basic structure has remained a constant foundation for written communication in the English language. #abcalphabetsounds   #phonics_song   #learningabcd   #alphabetsounds   #PhonicsForKids #educationalvideos    #kidslearning   #phonicsfun   #alphabetgames   #earlyliteracyskills   #readingskills   #preschooleducationalvideos    #parentingtips   #childdevelopment   #funlearningexperience   #aashriapps  #interactivelearning   #languageskills   #readingreadiness   #phonicsmastery  #teachingkidstopray   #learningjourney  #alphabetlearningforkids #ABCs #LanguageBasics #literacyskills #earlyeducationgame #spellingpractice #readingskills #WritingFundamentals #englishalphabet #educationaltools #languagedevelopment #childhoodlearning #literacymatters #languagearts #letterrecognition #teachingkidstopray #abc123 #educationalgames #alphabetsoup #languagelearningjourney
